About Swakopmund

Founded in 1892 by Captain Curt von François, Swakopmund is a small coastal town nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Naib Desert. The town has retained its strong historical German colonial aesthetic while embracing a modern seaside lifestyle.

Swakopmund is Namibia's most popular coastal vacation and holiday destination. The picturesque town offers an array of activities for all ages and interests, many restaurants with local and international cuisines, dozens of coffee shops and pubs, and is the gateway to thrilling adventures along the Namibian coastline and beyond.
